EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical lithograph, created by Thelem in the late 19th century, we are transported to a French shop where a wife is wrongly suspecting her husband of having a mistress. The scene captures the essence of humor and irony as the wife's anger and accusation are depicted with exaggerated emotions. The bewildered husband stands before his furious wife, who is clad in an elegant winter coat. Her nosy curiosity has led her down a path of mistaken assumptions, fueling her rage and bitterness. The woman's accusing finger points directly at her husband, while he appears both bewildered and curious about what could have sparked such fury. This comical illustration not only portrays the dynamics between spouses but also touches upon themes of jealousy and suspicion. It cleverly plays on human emotions and showcases one of the seven deadly sins - wrath. The artist's skillful use of caricature adds depth to this scathing satire, highlighting societal norms prevalent during that era. Through their attire and costume design, we gain insight into French culture at the time. As viewers, we find ourselves immersed in this humorous pocket-sized world where mistaken identities can lead to fiery confrontations. This print serves as a reminder that even our most intense feelings can sometimes be based on false assumptions or misunderstandings.
